I thought his thing was Maine?
Lovecraft was from New England too and wrote about some pretty weird shit happening up there too.
You think his etint is fucked up, you should see what he named his cat.
Someone made a game about that. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3912580/NECRONOMICAT/
TIL what a Hand of Glory is.
They really thought those girls in Salem were the only witches???
I guess someone needs to do this ๐
A Hand of Glory is the dried and pickled hand of a hanged man. (wikipedia link)
Me coming here hoping someone in the comments would explain
Thanks for telling us what it is.
The writer John Connolly's "Charlie Parker" books are partly about how weird Maine is. Some of his descriptions can get your small hairs standing up.
I love me Stephen King. Especially the old drug fueled shit. Make me want to move there.
Not everything up here is creepy.
The fall is really nice. And they only found a chopped up body in the pond that one time in the spring. Though fall leaves are a lot to clean up.
That's not so bad I guess. There's only a few ponds up there right?
Where I live yea only like a few hundred in my area. I live south of Maine though and go up there to hike a lot and they do have quite a bit of water. Ive only seen two fully wrecked planes that are too deep for anyone to clean up and one ghost train. Oh yeah and theres the failed logging equipment in the middle of old growth, thats always fun to run across. The ice breaker train thing in the logging museam in Patten is real cool. Thats all north of Stephen King though. He's all fancy in a real town n shit.
You can stop selling me. I'm in. There's probably a million planes, 2 is nothing.
If you're a hiker the one one from the 70s in right in the middle of the 100mi. The other other is from the 50s, a huge aluminum thing you can walk through that crashed in the mountains in the fog. A bit off trail and takes a while to find. Its like a week or two south of the 100mi if I remember correctly? Theres more ive heard of of but not seen. Ghostrains are just on alltrails theres a few.
One of my favorites is Christine. What if a car were, like, super evil or whatever?
My parents live not too far away away from him. They always tell me when someone sees him at the supermarket. Apparently he is spooky.
I've somehow made friends with a crow. It comes and sits outside the window in the morning, when I go to the bathroom first time. I haven't been nice. I guess I've said hello a couple of times, but only 2 or 3.
